- Full review of the 2023 Honda Hornet.
there's been a lot of talk and hype surrounding this bike since it launched. Time to find out if it deserves it!
Massive thanks to Doble Motorcycles for making this video possible, they are an absolute pleasure to deal with.

I've ridden both the Honda and Suzuki and bought the Honda. Grand less (£750 if you include the quick shifter) and more "fun". Then of course there's more tech with the Hornet (phone connectivity for example).
I've had my new white/red Hornet for a week and done 200 miles so still running it in. I had no problems with the snatchy throttle going round my first roundabout BUT trying to maintain a set speed between 15-35mph is proving difficult, even in rain mode. Whilst others have said the fuelling is good once you're up and running, mine seems to be hunting at the speeds I've mentioned. I've certainly had to be careful with the throttle and clutch. Go over a couple of bumps and immediately your speed changes. I've only wound it up to about 5500-6000 revs a few times and bloody hell it shifts! When the 600 service is done I'll give it more beans. I'm averaging 65mpg and got 70mpg on one run. I'm 5'8" and have a 29" leg and with my boots on can just flat-foot it and at my height there's acres of room on the seat. For the nay-sayers who moan about the looks, it looks better in the flesh than any video. I think mine looks stunning.
Yes, its that Good !
Test rode. Loved it. Buying the showroom display one.
I bought a Transalp 750 with the same engine as the new Hornet which isn’t available here. My bike is a 2024 and I have not experienced any bad throttle behavior.
Couldn’t have said it better myself what a lot of bike for the money!! Great handling enough power to get you out of trouble and the looks to match!!!!. Brilliant review what bikes next and when’s the video out.??? 👌👌👌
Nice review fella 👍
Great review mate looks like you had fun nice nimble bike that
Hi shortbloke. Im 62 just passed my motorcycle test. Will be doing a 12 mile commute and a 60 mile trip to London once or twice a month. Cant decide between this and nc750x dct. Better fuel and storage on NC but hornet cheaper. Any views on these 2 bikes would be greatly appreciated. A friend recommended a cb500f or a kawasaki 650 rs for instance. information
Best bike overall is not always the most fun! I've seen the "better all around bike" comments about the new Suzuki and "better performance" comments about the KTM Duke 790 but neither of those bikes got the "giddy/enthusiastic ride experience" reaction I've seen from all the Hornet reviews. Unfortunately I live in one of the few places (US) Honda doesn't currently sell the Hornet but plan on putting a deposit on one when I can (2024?).
Next bike perhaps?
Is it not a bit snachey with power for London roads?
Bro its good bike?good for high way?
I've heard the front end is light and really doesn't handle ALLLL that well, and the GSX-8S is better handling and perhaps more grunty down low. Price price price.
My CB500F had that red/white color scheme. I really dig it. Do NOT like that yellow one floating around. There's a black and red one that may be the best looker.
If this bike was available in 2021 I probably would have bought it instead of my MT07. I am happy with my choice at the time and don't see getting anything else for quite some time.
Totally agree about the smaller tyres making it handle better most bikes have oversized tyres.. is this engine better than a cp2?
Are the tires oddball size and hard to find?
Im torn between this and the Suzuki. What should i get?
Seat needs replaced first,!
